I got it! I got it~!! It's a miracle! Im sooo happy!!!!!
Whao! It’s been ages since I updated my blog. Well, I’ve been meaning to many many times, but I guess I was too tired out by all my activities and stuff. *guilty* 
But I so must write this down and share with all of you!
Guess what?!!! I GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP TO NEW ZEALAND!!!! Full s’ship for the tuition fees to study BioMed Science at Uni of Victoria!! I dunno where or how to start, but im just so grateful to God!!! Surely my God lives, and He knows what’s best!!!!! Arrrhhhhhhhh…im so happy! For those of you who know me, im sure you would know how I feel. This is my only ticket overseas!
Ok, to start, I went for the interview in KL last Monday. It was a rush, but it went farely well, though I came out quite pessimistic abt it cos I realised that, besides squash, I didn’t tell them anything else abt my extra curricular activities. I totally forgot to mention anything abt Guides and all the oth stuff. Anyway, the KL trip was not too bad, cos I got to go shopping with my mum! Got most of my new clothes frm there. =)
Yeah, and they informed me that there were abt 40 applicants for the s’ship, and they shortlisted it to 25 ppl. But since only offer 2 schships to the whole of M’sia, they shortlisted it to 8ppl, and the interviewers told me that they did have quite a tough job doing that. But seriously, that itself was already something to thank God abt! And to think that I thought I won’t be able to get to the interview level!
Esther, my friend frm church got the same s’ship last year, and I got quite a lot of tips frm her. And according to her, I should know the results of the interview by the end of last week. And well, I had no news at all. So, I thought I wouldn’t have gotten it. But I was thinking, if I get the s’shp the following week, it must be a miracle, cos this would mean that someone else rejected the s’ship. Well, true enough, somebody did.
I kinda gave up and thought I did not get it. Nevertheless, I DID NOT give up on God. And I kept reminding myself that God knows what’s best. And since I was at my church Youth camp, I was not able to check my mail. So, when Dan called me on Thursday to tell me the good news, I was practically screaming in my room! Boy, was I ecstatic. I can’t really describe what it feels like, but I sure am thankful! You bet I almost cried.
What are the chances that two ppl frm the same state, frm the same church and are friends get the same scholarship, in two consecutive years! Well, all I can say is that God blesses those who choose to honour Him. I’m not saying this to boast, cos I know that the very fact that I choose to honour Him was already frm Him! (if u get what I mean) And yeah, I was telling most of my close friends that im sick of applying for s’ships going thru tests and interviews! Really! I must say that the past month after my HSC finals, I was rather lost as to what I am to do! And I so hated it when everytime, friends with good intentions pop me the question: “So what are you going to do next?” Well, im sure they mean well, plus that’s quite a good topic to break the ice, esp when one has nothing else to talk about! It wasn’t their fault, it was just me.
Plus, the last 2 weeks weren’t easy for me though I finished my HSC. I had so deadlines, and everything was just mounting up! Just when I had the Camp Diary deadline ard the corner, I had to prepare for the intervew! And there were so many oth things I had to prepare for camp cos this year I was the camp staff. But I did notice this year that God does indeed have His way of training us! There will be seasons when we’re so carefree, and seasons when one project/activity after another comes up! But surely, all this is good bcos at the end of the day, I can just sit down and look back and say that what I went through was for my benefit!

HSC results
And guess what?! My HSC results were out today! And I checked it online the minute I got back frm camp at 5pm just now. I can say that I did quite well! All my external marks were higher than my internals, except for Math Ext. 1. And the average of my internals and externals (that is my final HSC marks) are definitely higher than my internals! Most of itare Band 6s, except for English and Physics. But thank GOd I got 86 for my external physics paper, and this makes my overall marks 85. And to think that I did not have enough time to answer almost all of my papers! Well, we’ll be getting our UAI (percentile) tomorrow. Hmm..have to get up early to check them online. So, this is another thing to praise God for.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so I learnt….??
Well, since I was rather caught up with all the deadlines and activities for the past month or so, I have to admit that I was struggling in my walk with Jesus. I found it harder than usual to read the Bible, spend quiet time with God and worship Him. My brain was probably too filled with my busy life that I neglect my “still” time with God. Nonetheless, I knew deep inside that no matter what I feel, I should purpose to praise and worship Him, cos I’m not worshipping Him for who I am, but for who He is! Well, was already said: For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. (Romans 7:19)
yeah, so anyway, I'm expected to be in NZ by Feb 5/6. THat means i wont be able to collect ang paus...*sob...but i guess the s'ship is already a BIG ang pau frm God! and Feb 14...aihz...
